"There are many Macri portraits featuring sunglasses, but I think focusing on specific works will convey my own fascination and perhaps say something about his art generally. As I look closely at the recent hooded portrait 19.04.20 and companion pieces (e.g. SP2019, SPApr2020, and 11.05.20), ideas, associations and implications jostle against each other, but I don’t want to explore the priest, sorcerer, weary roué, sleepwalker, kabuki actor, exhausted athlete, an otherworldly creature, or whatever character that figure brings to mind. It’s a remarkably rich portrait, so subtly structured, all the various elements so seamlessly interconnected and/or interwoven that I hesitate to isolate one feature to the exclusion of others.”
